Naveen Gupta, seemingly secular in life, surprised everyone by stipulating in his will that his son Ajay should cremate him in San Francisco, just as Naveen had cremated his father in India, thirty years earlier. The play offers us humor in the varying reactions of Naveen\u2019s family and friends to this quixotic demand; and, as is typical of Saraf, holds an unblinking spotlight to our community and its foibles.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Written by:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Sujit Saraf<br><strong>Directed by:<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Krishna S.
